Apollo Theater
Built in the heart of Lincoln Park in 1978 by theater producers Jason Brett and Stuart Oken, and just renovated for the third time, the Apollo boasts a dramatic glass and concrete design conceived by Chicagoan Michael Lustig.
The Apollo Theater has a rich theatrical history. For its inaugural engagement, producers Oken and Brett chose Albert Innaurato’s Gemini, which featured the production’s original Broadway director, Peter Schifter. David Mamet’s Sexual Perversity in Chicago became a smash hit at the Apollo, starring Jim Belushi in his dramatic stage debut and directed by former Second City Artistic Director Sheldon Patinkin.
